We look at the division of 204198 by 87 
We're looking to find how many times 87 goes into 204198.

On to step 1:
When dividing 2 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 2.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 2, we end up with 2.
Bring next digit (0) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 20 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
If we divide 20 by 87, we get 0 and a remainder of 20.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 20 to get 20.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 20, then repeat: 204 / 87

Step 3:
The number 87 fits into 204 2 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 174 from 204.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 30 and continue: 301 / 87

Going ahead to step 4:
If we divide 301 by 87, we get 3 and a remainder of 40.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 23.0
If we take 261 away from 301, we end up with 40.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 40 and repeat the process: 409 / 87

On to step 5:
When dividing 409 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 61.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 234.0
If we subtract 348 from 409, we get 61.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 61 and repeat the process: 618 / 87

Let's proceed to step 6:
If we divide 618 by 87, we get 7 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 7. 
Result so far: 2347.0
Deduct 609 from 618 and we're left with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
If we divide 90 by 87, we get 1 and a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 2347.1
Deduct 87 from 90 and we're left with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
The number 87 fits into 30 0 times, leaving a remainder of 30.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2347.1
If we take 0 away from 30, we end up with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
300 divided by 87 is 3 with a remainder of 39.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2347.103
Subtracting 261 from 300 leaves us with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

On to step 10:
The number 87 fits into 390 4 times, leaving a remainder of 42.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2347.1034
Subtract 348 from 390 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 11:
If we divide 420 by 87, we get 4 and a remainder of 72.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2347.10344
Subtract 348 from 420 to get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final result is 2347.10344 with a remainder of 7.2e-05.
